Tennessee hosted Oregon on September 11, 2010. The Volunteers took an early lead of 6–0, before a lightning warning delayed the game for over seventy minutes; during the delay the score was 13–3. Oregon would go on to score 45 unanswered points to cruise to an easy 35 point win despite the weather which appeared to hinder Oregon's fast paced offense.
